FORMER MINNESOTA STATE Sen. Matt Little was lawfully observing federal immigration agents in a Dakota County neighborhood last month when the drive took an unexpected turn.
As he followed their vehicles, they led him down a rural road that grew increasingly familiar during the 20-minute drive. Soon, Little told The Intercept, he realized where the federal agents were headed: his house.
When he approached his driveway, two SUVs were already waiting, Little said. Agents moved to block his car, claiming he had impeded their investigation and that local law enforcement would be called. No other officers came to his house, and Little was not cited or charged.
Interviews, sworn declarations, and video reviewed by The Intercept indicate that Little is not the only person subjected to this kind of intimidation. Across the Twin Cities, immigration agents have identified legal observers by name and address, and, in some cases, led them back to their homes after they engaged in lawful monitoring of immigration activity. Legal observers say this pattern of behavior sends a clear and chilling message: The federal government knows who they are and where they live.
GESTAPO!
I tried to help.
I built mobile mesh network and 2 layers of encryption for a vault to secure digital evidence of ICE terrorism. Chacha quantum resistant with aes-256 fallback.
It was open source and free… but I asked for $5/month for the optional upgrade to route traffic through an encrypted vpn tunnel.
VPN was firewalled so all connected blocked most trackers, data brokers - at both DNS and DoH level. We blocked 50+ stalkerware apps for good measure as well.
I tried to present this to my community. Apparently this made me a “security risk” because I asked for $5/month for the vpn access.
Fuck me for not sleeping for a week and killing myself to put this together only to be publicly condemned over 5 fucking dollars.
Not to be that guy but you could’ve avoided this beforehand by asking if this is something they wanted first.
Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t be that dude without having any context or being involved in the thousands of signal messages.
It sounds like you were literally that dude being involved with thousands of signal messages and not having any context
Sounds like a great way to get ambushed.
I was thinking the same. Steal their SUVs and guns. That’s a 100k payday.
They know where you live. They know where you work. They know who all your family and friends are. They know your social security number. They know your bank account numbers. They know your medical records. They know your menstrual cycles. They know your online aliases. They know your voting history. They know your online activity.
But they NEED to build more data centers so AI can more effectively identify and target you.
thats why trump had palintir hastily deployed with flock, and LEO, cameras.
Start showing up at their homes, see how they like it. Fascists still have names and addresses – getting them might not be as easy as it is for them to get yours, but if they think nobody will ever come knocking I can’t wait for someone to prove them wrong.
Yeah, I know about it, I’m just saying it’s not as easy because someone has to do the legwork of adding them to the wiki.
I can’t wait for someone to prove them wrong.
You can’t wait to scroll past the stories of people getting shot? Because that’s how they get shot. 🤔
edit: ohnoes, not downvotes. 🫣 Go ahead, dogpile on defending your preference for spectating the deaths of fellow untrained, unsupported, under-represented poor people. idiots.
Why yes in fact I would like the people showing up to be armed, dead fascists would be a good thing. :3
Also, I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the news at all, but you can also get shot for dropping off your kids at school or helping other innocent people who’ve been assaulted. So I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here.
Yeah, and you’re doing fuck-all but reading about it, no?
I’m doing more about it than being a smarmy cunt on Lemmy, which is more than I can say for you :D
incidentally, making a dedicated edit to complain about downvotes on a site that doesn’t have cumulative karma tracked like reddit, makes you look really, immensely stupid. So maybe don’t do that if you want your opinions taken seriously. Or do anyways, I’m not your dad.
My bad, for a minute there, I forgot you’re missing the entire point, sweetie. Fixed.
Jesus… What a prick
Ah yes, I forgot how being an obnoxious dick to people you’re ostensibly on the same side as was an effective, accepted method of communication for getting your point across.
Wait, no, the opposite of that.
Anyhow you have fun making obtuse “points” via sarcastic shitposts on the fediverse, I’m sure that’ll go really well for you. I’m gonna go do something more productive than that now. Byebye!! <3
Not people. Fascists.
Ah, yes, missing the point in a different direction. 🙄 That tracks.
This country’s so fucked —and the rest of the world is next, thanks all. 🤦🏽♂️
Don’t worry. Once we start putting your fascist friends up against a wall it’ll start getting better.
Aw, that’s your reflex? You’re doing great. Full marks. Mama’s proud.
Higgins was ultimately taken to the Whipple Federal Building, where he said he watched authorities enter his Social Security number and other personal information into a Microsoft Teams chat.
“They called it ‘agitator chat,’ and they would just put information in there. I have no idea who was in there, but it looked like 500 people,” he said.
Cool entering PII info into a teams chat with 500 people that’s good security.
But Hilary deleted some emails.
These fucking hypocrite fucks

Take a moment to read this article. There’s an account in the 2nd half that was absolutely chilling. Guy was full-on chased for being an observer and narrowly escaped what looked like it could have been a brutal or even fatal encounter after being boxed in by SUVs full of masked agents. I’m not sure what the solution is going to be here
The issue is that we’ve been looking at these people as misguided idiots rather than the thugs that ICE/CBP always were. They’re acting exactly as we should expect, except now they’ve got an admin backing them to the hilt on literally anything and everything they do.
When you have a structure that’s been BUILT out of rotted wood, you can’t just replace the most obvious rot and call it good.
Wait, what?
This isn’t “what they always were”. There were problems before, absolutely. But now they’ve hired explicitly and intentionally from Nazi gangs.
Your analogy implies they were trying to fix things. They were trying to break them.
You’re right, but I don’t think that’s what they were saying.
I think they’re talking about the people themselves. These people have always been violent, awful, racist people, and have only just now started to feel empowered to commit the violence they’ve been clamoring for.
Even then, there wasn’t perfect overlap between the racist border patrol guys and the literal nazi gangs. Now there is.
There might not have been OPENLY, but I highly doubt a group that literally refers to detained illegal migrants as “tonks” for the sound a flashlight makes hitting a human skull in its official documentation, mind you was not already happy to recruit open white supremacists.
Anyone working for this administration deserves to be thrown into a fucking volcano.
Think of the volcanoes. 🥲
I’ll take a trial and swift execution via firing squad.
Launched into the sun is my preference for them. Turn it into a reality tv show as they slowly accellerate into the sun.
it takes less dV to launch em out into the void
Launched from a mountain top from a large trebuchet would work too.
A similar thing happened to an observer I know in NW Washington the other day too. They realized where ICE was going and bailed, but ICE waited outside their house for hours before giving up.
Matt Little is from my home town and was my mayor for a long time. He was good. I like him. Good for him.
So what? I know where I live to.
Harrassment can go both ways.
